Chapter 171

In the courtyard of the old lady of Gu's mansion, Hongdou was crying out of breath, while the man kept yelling loudly that he was wronged, making the old lady's wrinkled face look more majestic, making her People gagged him.

She said: "What does this mean? Take a foreigner to the backyard, are you treating me as dead?"

Mrs. Wang arrived but didn't see Gu Ziqing. She was wondering, when she suddenly heard the old lady's question, her heart trembled, her eyes rolled, and she immediately pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "Don't be surprised, old lady, yes The daughter-in-law didn't take care of it, so I'll ask Ziqing to accompany you when she comes later."

Gu Ting snorted coldly when he heard this, stood up and said, "Mother, this matter is disgraceful to say the least, it is Wang's dereliction of duty that such a dirty thing happened in such a big Gu family, how about this?" Well, mother, you have accepted Wang's housekeeping rights and let her think behind closed doors for a while, which can be regarded as giving her a long memory."

Mrs. Wang cried out: "Master, what are you talking about? What does this matter have to do with me? Why do you want to be so unfeeling to me? I know you have always disliked my stepmother, but for so many years I have You have children and take care of housework, why are you doing this to me?"

Gu Ting flicked his sleeves: "You also know that you are in charge of this house, so this matter has nothing to do with you. Is that how your butler manages it? It's in the stomach of a dog? The Gu family is overjoyed." On this day, how many guests are outside, and how do you arrange it? On such an important day, some guests disappeared, and you made such an oolong, are you worthy of your mother's trust in you?"

Mrs. Wang couldn't argue with anything, what Gu Ting said was really nice. She originally wanted to push this matter away, but she didn't expect Gu Ting to cover it up for her again. Not only that, but it directly rose to the level of lax housekeeping In fact, it is true that there is no room left for her.

Xie Wuyu was led by Gu Ziqing to stand outside the door. Seeing that the atmosphere inside was getting more and more tense, he poked him and asked in a low voice, "You really don't need to go in?"

Gu Ziqing misunderstood: "What? Do you want to watch them fight up close? Then I'll take you in."

"No..." Before he could say the refusal, Xie Wuyu was dragged into the room, and immediately lowered his head and pretended to be Gu Ziqing's servant, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

When everyone in the room saw Gu Ziqing coming, they stopped making noise immediately. It was a little quiet for a while. The old lady wanted to ask what was going on just now, but the room was full of noise, and she had a severe headache. Now that Gu Ziqing came, no one joined her He went to her ear and told the ins and outs of the matter.

The old lady's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Nonsense, such a scandal happened on a happy day, I think what Ting'er said is right, you should let go of your housekeeping rights, if you don't have a long memory, you won't know how to do your best."

Surprised, Wang yelled subconsciously: "Mother, I really don't care about my business. It's because of Ziqing's friend who came to the mansion and didn't take care of him. He even ran around, which caused the current situation." The situation, the daughter-in-law really doesn't know."

Gu Ziqing said: "Can the eldest lady shirk all responsibility by saying that she doesn't know? Then how can the two people in the room explain it?" Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to defend again, Gu Ziqing pointed at the man and asked: "Now I will give you a man who will make up for it. Opportunity, tell me carefully why you are in the Gu mansion, and why you did such beastly things."

The man was terrified to death, and he told the story in a trembling voice. It turned out that he was also one of the refugees who fled here from the north. But the man neither beat him nor reported to the officials, but only asked him to do one thing, saying that as long as the thing is done, he will not only be able to settle down immediately, but also have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

Xie Wuyu thought in his heart, isn't there no need to worry about food and clothing? If this matter is really calculated by someone, wouldn't she have to marry this person if she wants to survive, just like Wu Laolai and Zhao Xiaoli's situation.

The man had long been unable to think about what he had, so he agreed directly. Anyway, no matter how miserable he was, he would just lose his life. If he fought hard, he might really be able to save his life, so he did it as soon as he gritted his teeth.

This morning, he was led to the small back door of Gu's mansion before dawn. He said he could do as he said, and he would never suffer any loss. How could he know that he would be caught again? He only hated himself for being dizzy I believed in other people's words, and now I only ask the nobleman to spare my life.

Xie Wuyu secretly took a look at the man. He was about thirty years old, not ugly, but he was also sallow and thin. He didn't know how long he hadn't washed his body, and there were a lot of dirt visible to the naked eye.She shuddered, this man was prepared for her by Mrs. Wang, he has such a vicious heart.

Gu Ziqing sneered: "If what this person is telling the truth, then someone is deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, otherwise why did something happen to my guest, Madam, can you still say that it has nothing to do with you when something like this happens? Fortunately, the guests were all in the front yard when the incident happened, if some news is revealed, will the reputation of our Gu Manor be ruined? If news of a guest's accident in the Gu Mansion gets out, what will outsiders think of the Gu Mansion?"

The old lady is also a woman, and Wang's methods are still immature in front of her. She has always turned a blind eye to Wang's actions, and turned around in her heart. She waved and asked her confidants, After asking which guest had the accident, it became clearer in my heart.

Naturally, Mrs. Wang was going to be punished, but Gu Ziqing completely disregarded her grandmother's face, and even stepped in to do it for her. This made her very unhappy, so with the intention of beating her, the punishment for Mrs. Wang was only a one-month confinement, and she was still a housekeeper. The ineffective reason really saved her face.

Gu Ting was a little dissatisfied, he stepped forward to say something but was stopped by Gu Ziqing, and they left quickly.There are still a group of guests enjoying themselves in the front yard, so things in the back yard can't be delayed for too long, it won't be beautiful if it arouses suspicion from outsiders.

Gu Ziqing took Xie Wuyu directly to his yard, and not long after closing the door, Xiao Ye hurried back with someone.

The first thing he said when he entered the door was to ask: "It was solved so quickly? No witnesses?"

He waved his hand, and the two men carrying people that Xie Wuyu and the others had seen were crushed to the ground, the two were overwhelmed with fear, Xiao Ye answered everything truthfully when he asked them, making sure that he never lied.

It is naturally impossible for the person who instigates such a dirty thing to come forward in person, usually his confidantes come forward, and Xie Wuyu and Xiao Ye also saw with their own eyes the confidant of the Wang family talking to these two people From the picture, it is natural to know who wants to harm her.

Gu Ziqing shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity, a pity, even if these two people can serve as witnesses, they can't do anything to her."

Xiao Ye frowned. He had already learned the result of the matter from Xie Wuyu just now. Although he was dissatisfied, he was more concerned about another matter: "You still have to deal with that woman named Wang Shuyan. If you guessed right, she It should have been prepared for you by your stepmother."

Gu Ziqing's face contorted for a moment, but then the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with a wicked smile: "Since I like to climb the ranks so much, let's send her to the palace for draft."

Xie Wuyu was taken aback, and looked at Gu Ziqing with some surprise.
